Scott observed:
>1) pterosaurs can't move bipedally like dinosaurs because they a) don't
have their center of gravity in the right place >for a horizontal posture,
b) fail to enlarge their illia anteroposteriorly like theropods do.<
>2) they don't show the adaptatins to upright bipedalism seen in hominids,
especially the double curve in the sacral >series.<
That first point is an extremely cogent one.
Thanks for pointing it out. I had noticed that pterosaur manus (front
foot) imprints are consistently much more impressed into the substrate than
are imprints of the pes (back foot).
